Windows label
Your computer might have a Windows 10 Genuine Microsoft label affixed to its cover depending on the
following factors:
• Your geographic location
• Edition of Windows 10 that is preinstalled
The absence of a Genuine Microsoft label does not indicate that the preinstalled Windows version is not
genuine. For details on how to tell whether your preinstalled Windows product is genuine, refer to the
information provided by Microsoft at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/default.aspx.
There are no external, visual indicators of the Product ID or Windows version for which the computer is
licensed. Instead, the Product ID is recorded in the computer firmware. Whenever a Windows 10 product is
installed, the installation program checks the computer firmware for a valid, matching Product ID to complete
the activation.
In some cases, an earlier Windows version might be preinstalled under the terms of the Windows 10 Pro
license downgrade rights.

Use passwords
This section introduces types of passwords in UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) BIOS (Basic
Input/Output System) and how to set, change, and remove a password.
Password types
You can set a power-on password, supervisor password, system management password, or hard disk
password in UEFI BIOS to prevent unauthorized access to your computer. However, you are not prompted to
enter any UEFI BIOS password when your computer resumes from sleep mode.
Power-on password
If you set a power-on password, a window is displayed on the screen when you turn on the computer. Enter
the correct password to use the computer.
If you have set both the supervisor password and power-on password, you can use the supervisor password
to access your computer when you turn it on. The supervisor password overrides the power-on password.
You can enable the system management password to have the same authority as the supervisor password
to control security related features. To customize the authority of the system management password through
the UEFI BIOS menu:
1. Enter the UEFI BIOS menu. See “Enter the UEFI BIOS menu” on page 35.
Note: When you are prompted to enter the password, enter the correct supervisor password if a
supervisor password has been set, or enter the correct system management password if no supervisor
password has been set. Otherwise, you cannot change the configurations in the following steps.
2. Select Security ➙ Password ➙ System Management Password Access Control.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you have set both the supervisor password and the system management password, the supervisor
password overrides the system management password. If you have set both the system management
password and the power-on password, the system management password overrides the power-on
password.
To set the hard disk password, select one of the following types:
• User hard disk password only
When a user hard disk password is set without a master hard disk password, the user must enter the user
hard disk password to access files and applications on the storage drive.
• Master hard disk password + User hard disk password
The master hard disk password is set and used by a system administrator. It enables the administrator to
access any storage drive in a system or any computer connected in the same network. The administrator
can also assign a user hard disk password for each computer in the network. The user of the computer
can change the user hard disk password as desired, but only the administrator can remove the user hard
disk password.
When prompted to enter a hard disk password, press F1 to switch between the master hard disk password
and user hard disk password.
Note: The hard disk password is not available in the following situations:
You should record all your passwords and store them in a safe place. If you forget any of your passwords,
any potential repair actions required are not covered under warranty.
During the enrollment, the fingerprints are associated with the Windows password automatically. It is
recommended that you put your finger in the center of the fingerprint reader during enrollment and enroll
more than one fingerprint in case of any injuries to your fingers.
Associate your fingerprints with your power-on password and hard disk password
1. Turn off and then turn on the computer.
2. When prompted, scan your finger on the fingerprint reader.
3. Enter your power-on password, hard disk password, or both as required. The connection is created.

RAID
This section introduces RAID-related information.
What is RAID
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that provides increased storage functions and
reliability through redundancy. It also can improve data storage reliability and fault tolerance compared with
single-drive storage systems. Data loss resulting from a drive failure can be prevented by reconstructing
missing data from the remaining drives.
When a group of independent physical storage drives is set up to use RAID technology, they are in a RAID
array. This array distributes data across multiple storage drives, but the array appears to the host computer
as one single storage unit. Creating and using RAID arrays provides high performance, such as the expedited
I/O performance, because several drives can be accessed simultaneously.
Note: The Create Volume option might not be selectable for some reasons, for example, if different
types of drives are selected, the option is not selectable. If it is not selectable, see the message
displayed under Create Volume for reference.
After the RAID volume is created, the Intel (R) Rapid Storage Technology window is displayed, and
the created volume is displayed under RAID Volumes.
4. Press F10 to save changes and exit.
Recovery information
This section introduces the recovery information of the Windows 10 operating system. Ensure that you read
and follow the on-screen recovery instructions. The data on your computer might be deleted during the
recovery process. To avoid data loss, make a backup copy of all the data that you want to keep.
Note: The items in the graphical user interface (GUI) might change without notice.
1. Open the Start menu, and then click Settings ➙ Update & Security ➙ Recovery.
2. In the Reset this PC section, click Get started.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your computer.
The Windows recovery environment on your computer operates independently from the Windows 10
operating system. It enables you to recover or repair the operating system even if the Windows 10 operating

your computer.
Working in the virtual office might mean adapting to frequent changes in your environment. Adapting to the
surrounding light sources, active seating, and the placement of your computer hardware, can help you
improve your performance and achieve greater comfort.
This example shows someone in a conventional setting. Even when not in such a setting, you can follow
many of these tips. Develop good habits, and they will serve you well.
General posture: Make minor modifications in your working posture to deter the onset of discomfort caused
by long periods of working in the same position. Frequent short breaks from your work also help to prevent
minor discomfort associated with your working posture.
Head position: Keep your head and neck in a comfortable and neutral (vertical, or upright) position.
Chair: Use a chair that gives you good back support and seat height adjustment. Use chair adjustments to
best suit your comfort posture.
Arm and hand position: If available, use chair arm rests or an area on your working surface to provide
weight support for your arms. Keep your forearms, wrists, and hands in a relaxed and neutral (horizontal)
position. Type with a soft touch without pounding the keys.
Leg position: Keep your thighs parallel to the floor and your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.
